I applaud Pam and Winnie for their philosophy about airline flights. They get onto the Internet at an airport or wherever they can and totally research their options across all the airlines that fly from their origin to their destination. That way, they have a much higher probability of getting the best flights. They remind me of Mirna and Charla in that regard.

Max's statement that "We expected to be so far ahead" indicates that he has not watched many Amazing Races since AR1, which was the only one when the bunching that occurred was natural and not forced by the time for tasks completion, Hours of Operation and mostly waiting at airports for flights built into the design for that amazing race.

I don't know what's going on with CBS, but the five insider videos I just posted might just be IT for this week. It covered all 7 teams. I am checking frequently now until I go to bed and again tomorrow. This is very unusual.
